Excel should allow multiple hyperlinks in a single cell

Cells in Word can contain more than one hyperlink. Cells in Excel cannot (at
least in XP). This limits the use of excel as a database.

It would also be useful to link to bookmarks in pdf documents as one can to
bookmarks in Word documents. (This may of course be an issue with the pdf
format.)

This is a peer-to-peer newsgroup, which may or may not be read by and MS
employee. If you want to make suggestions to Microsoft, post at

Thanks - and thanks for the link, which is what I was looking for.
Curiously it was Microsoft's Office site which invited me to make suggestions
in this forum, with the explanation:
"The Microsoft Community is a public forum where you can submit suggestions
for Microsoft products and see suggestions that others have made. Community
participants vote for suggestions, and Microsoft uses the votes to help
prioritize features in upcoming versions. Each month, Microsoft will respond
to the suggestions with the most votes."

Ah - I think that's what MS wants to have happen using the MS web
interface to these groups. I don't, and won't, use that interface,
however, and neither do most of the regular posters in these groups, so
I'm not sure what the value really is.

I don't see anything in the message header that indicates a suggestion
to MS, so I don't know how they track it, if indeed they do.
